CLEVELAND — FAMILIES SLAIN. Two families have been found shot to death within hours of each in separate northeast Ohio cities, and authorities suspect both were murder-suicides by the fathers. Police investigating the whereabouts of one family found all five dead in their apartment in Mayfield Heights. Police think Robert W. Lynch, 52, shot his pregnant wife and their three children and then shot himself. About 4 1/2 hours later, a family of four was found in their apartment in Painesville. Police said Bruce Clinton, 36, shot his estranged wife and two children and then killed himself.
